I have a Linkstation Pro and installed Twonky on the system without any problems. The NAS is linked to several Macs, a PC and a PS3. I would like to have my Music available through the PS3, but I can only get access to MP3's.
What I would like to know is, with whom is the responsibility for sorting out the mess of Unsupported Data. Is it a Twonky problem or Sony or even Apple.
I'm reluctant to re-encode the library to MP3 format.
I can fully understand DRM iTunes music, but I'm talking of CD's that I've ripped using iTunes in AAC format. They should not have a problem streaming.
Soon after installing Twonky, I paid them for the software, but would appreciate that for the very least they identify the problem and if Twonky is the problem, it is addressed.
iTunes AAC & PS3 - who is responsible Twonky, Sony or Ap
You would suspect Twonky as AAC is the standard Audio format for both iTunes/iPod and PS3, however, it could be Apple. See except below relating to non DRM protected AAC's purchased from iStore:
These files mostly adhere to the AAC standard and are playable on many non-Apple products but they do include custom iTunes information such as album artwork and a purchase receipt.
I realise this doesn't directly relate to your predicament as you've imported your media not purchased but I'd hazard a guess they contain this same custom iTunes info.
Could be worth ripping an AAC through a non Apple product and see if it works...

Everything points to it being a Twonky problem. I have iTunes v7.5 and a PS3 v2.00. The AAC files when saved on a USB stick and inserted in the PS3, play perfectly fine. The AAC files are all ripped from CDs, so I do not have any DRM issues as these I would understand perfectly.
I have contacted Twonky and they say that they will look into the problem. Fingers crossed.
